BONSALL -- The June 2, 2001, 'Straits Times' article by Alfred Lee claims a British housewife captured amazing footage on her camcorder of a gigantic UFO which hovered near her home for six minutes. Mrs. Sharon Rowlands, 41, estimates that the UFO was an astonishing 4.8 km wide. The giant disc was pink and white in color, with yellow, orange and blue lights. It had a dark center and beamed pulses of intense light. It hovered about 3.2 km from her home in the tiny village of Bonsall, Derbyshire, 224 km from London for two minutes, before blasting away into the night sky at fantastic speed. Britain's Metereorological Office has confirmed that there were no freak weather conditions in the area at the time. Experts at NASA, the American space agency, have asked to see the video footage as a matter of urgency. They will use top-secret imaging equipment and computers to try to figure out what the UFO is. They believe it is the same sort of image captured on one of their own cameras during a space shuttle mission.

Mrs. Rowlands said: "I was a complete and utter disbeliever in flying saucers and UFOs, but what I saw has made me think again. I looked outside and saw this huge disc hovering in the sky. I rushed outside -- and started filming. 'Through the camera lens, it looked like it was going to hit me. It looked like nothing I have ever seen before." The video footage was purchased for 20,000 pounds from Mrs. Rowlands. Mr. Paul Hannan, 37, who lives in the nearby village of Bakewell saw a dome-shaped craft 'dancing in the sky'. Two weeks later, a man living in Wirksworth, a 10-minute drive away, saw a similar object in the sky. Thanks to Hans Bruin hbruin@euronet.nl

£20,000 SAYS THIS IS A UFO -When housewife Sharon Rowlands filmed what appeared to be a UFO flying over her tiny Derbyshire village, little did she realise what rewards the footage would bring her.

The 6-and-a-half-minute tape has been snapped up by an American TV company for more than £20,000.

Mrs Rowlands can also be proud of the knowledge her film is being ranked as one of the best pieces of UFO video footage ever shot.

California-based Kiviat Productions, which snapped up the film, is currently negotiating with TV networks across the world to show the tape as part of its 'Could It Be True?' Series - but not before officials from NASA are given a preview.

Mrs Rowlands (44), who lives with husband Hayden (45), said: "I've watched UFO programmes and if there is such a thing, this is as good a photograpgh as you're going to get.

"I was a complete and utter disbeliever but seeing this has made me think twice. It was huge and through the lens it looked like it was going to hit me. I couldn't believe it - it's like nothing else I've ever seen."

The tape has been locked in a bank vault since her chance filming on October 5, 2000, with a camcorder which she had received only days earlier as a gift. Kiviat executive producer Robert Kiviat found Mrs Rowlands' film while scouring the internet.

He said: "This is one of the top five pieces of video footage of UFOs ever taken."

The Rowlands are just a couple living in a remote area with no agenda and no previous experience in UFO videos - they just appear to have had their camcorder out at the right time."

A Meteorological Officer spokesman said there were no freak weather conditions on October 5 which could have caused the circular shape in the sky.

The American space agency NASA is believed to be interested in the Rowland's photograph because of its marked resemblance to a photograph taken during the 1996, STS-75 mission. The photograph was taken by Astronaut Claude Nicoltier.

so....11 years went by, and whoever spent 20k pounds to buy it has kept the footage secret....it does not make sense, at all.unless, of course, they deemed the footage to be like some kind of precious red wine (sassicaia, ornellaia, opus one, you name it..).they are aging it, hoping it will get more valuable in the future.smart move.

as long as there's one idiot around wlling to believe bullshit, there will be a bullshitter
